Chapter 88
Yang Xi said that Zhong Jin was to the county magistrate, and described the place where he served corvée, "Now that Brother Zhong is taking care of him, mother doesn't have to worry about her husband."

Ye Shi digested the news for a while, "The boss of the Zhong family?"

"Yes, Brother Zhong is the magistrate of Xiang County."

When the Ye family went south, he also thought about defecting to the Zhong family, but his son rejected it. On the one hand, he was afraid of exposing the Zhong family to bring disaster. On the other hand, the Zhong family had a lot of staff, and their family was not desperate, so it was better to find a place to live in peace.

I didn't expect it to happen like this!
Ye Shi sighed, "Our two families have fate."

Yang Xi wants to say that she and Zhou Yu have been reincarnated in reincarnation, and they deeply understand a truth. It is better to rely on yourself rather than rely on outsiders.

It's not that Ye Shi can't see people because of her identity gap. She was originally a peasant woman. "Okay, I just happened to ask about the Zhong family's situation."

Last year, Xianggong passed away, their family went south, and the letter to the Zhong family was cut off at the end of the year. Thinking of this, Ye's mood became even lower.

In fact, she didn't want to contact people or things related to Xianggong, which would remind her of Xianggong, the one who supported her and never left her dead.

Zhou Xiaomei didn't know much about the Zhong family. The Zhong family had been away from the capital for many years. Zhou Xiaomei rarely heard her father mention the Zhong family.

Zhou Xiaomei was very worried, "Sister-in-law, we came to Ruizhou to remain anonymous, is the Zhong family trustworthy? Will the Zhong family sell us?"

Yang Xi took the little sister's hand to soothe her anxiety, "No, Uncle Zhong is a good official, father's confidant, but I can't communicate clearly. Uncle Zhong is trustworthy."

Uncle Zhong is not someone who betrays the bottom line for the sake of power. Uncle Zhong can obviously get more power in the capital, and he resigns resolutely for the sake of the bottom line. Whoever betrays the Zhou family, Uncle Zhong will not.

Ye Shi leaned against the mat, "Your father is a trustworthy person. In addition to the friends in the capital, there are also some contacts in various places. Although your father has not accepted students, he has left a lot of incense."

Zhou Xiaomei's face changed, "Mother, don't mention the friends in the capital, none of us extended a hand when we were in trouble."

Even when she died, she would not forget the scene of carrying the coffin out of the house, the snow was falling and no one helped them!
Yang Xi's hand was clenched by the little sister, and the little sister was hiding hatred in her heart.

Ye Shi was taken aback and hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, mother won't mention it."

Zhou Xiaomei pursed her lips, "I haven't heard Dad mention the Zhong family, sister-in-law, we better be careful."

After finally settling down, she didn't want to continue escaping.

Yang Xi explained, "It was a pretense that the father and Uncle Zhong didn't agree with each other back then. They had a good relationship in private, and if they didn't know what to do, they were afraid of attracting attention. At that time, you were still young, so I didn't mention it to you."

I just don't know if the Zhong family didn't receive a letter from the Zhou family in the last lifetime. Will Uncle Zhong realize that something happened to the Zhou family, and then think about the Bozhou rebellion. Even if the Zhong family bypasses Bozhou and goes to the capital, it will take a long time to go back and forth.

Yang Xi counted the time. It will take more than a month to write a letter to Quanzhou on the New Year's Day, and it will take summer for the Zhong family to send someone to the capital to send back the news. At this time, their family has returned to their ancestral home and died in the sea of ​​​​fire.

When the Zhong family finds the Zhou family's ancestral home, they can only collect their ashes!
In the evening, Zhou Yu was missing at the dinner table, and the meal was very quiet, and there was an accident like Zhong Jin, Zhou Xiaodi was absent-minded.

After the meal, Yang San said, "I asked the county magistrate in the afternoon."

He believed even more in what he had heard and seen, so he went to the county seat and spent a lot of money to inquire about the magistrate.

Yang Xi stopped when he got up, and sat back again, "Are you satisfied with the inquiries?"

Yang Xi grew up in Zhou's family, and has seen Zhong Jin many times in private. She can see Zhong Jin's character as a big one.

Yang San touched his nose, "I asked about the county magistrate from different people, and the magistrate Zhong came to the county to handle practical matters, caring about the people's livelihood and restraining the yamen. The people said that the magistrate of Zhong was good, and magistrate Zhong had only his wife and no concubines. Room, a person who values ​​love and righteousness."

Yang Xi was happy that Zhong Jin had not changed, and said with a smile, "Can you rest assured this time?"

The tip of Yang San's ears turned red, "I like the villain first and the gentleman first. The magistrate of Zhong is really good."

Yang Xi said: "Tomorrow, the county magistrate is expected to come, you all stay at home to meet."

Yang San's eyes were sparkling, "Okay."

He was just about to contact the county magistrate in person!
In the evening, Yang Xi was lying on the bed, hugging her son to keep warm, no one rubbed her legs and covered her feet today, tsk tsk, she is still hypocritical after going through so much, but pregnant women did make her think a lot, but fortunately she has enough heart strong.

Yang Xi felt that the child in her stomach kicked her, and it really hurt, so she reached out to comfort the child in her stomach, "Your father is not at home, there are no books to listen to today, you are obedient."

When the voice fell, the child kicked again. Her legs were still a little twitchy, obviously calcium supplementation. Well, she can be hypocritical when she is pregnant. It is really difficult for pregnant women.

She didn't sleep well all night, even if her son was like a small stove, she couldn't feel it.

After having breakfast in the morning, Yang Xi estimated that Shi Chen didn't dare to make up for sleep, but as she guessed, Brother Zhong's family came.

Brother Zhong entered the yard in a carriage, and Yang Xi greeted him. Seeing the servants carrying gifts, he hurriedly said, "Why did Brother bring so many gifts? My mother is already very happy that you and sister-in-law can come."

It was the first time that Yang Xi met Zhong Jin's wife. Zhong Jin was five years older than Zhou Yu, and over 30 years old. In the past, the two families in the capital used to meet in private. Uncle Zhong only took Zhong Jin with him every time.

There was a banquet in the capital, because her mother-in-law was in poor health, and she got engaged early and rarely went out. I only heard Uncle Zhong say that Zhong Jin's wife is virtuous. Today is indeed the first time we meet.

Zhong Jin glanced at the yard, the yard was not big, he felt uncomfortable when he saw it, "Auntie's body is weak, all I bring are supplements to make up my body, so don't refuse."

Zhu Shi hugged Yang Xi's arm affectionately, "It's cold outside, and you're pregnant again, let's go in and talk."

Yang Xi was stunned for a moment, feeling relieved by Zhu's kindness, "Sister-in-law is right, it's cold outside, let's go in and talk."

Entering Mrs. Ye's house, Zhong Jin saw Mrs. Ye had aged a lot and his eyes were red, "Auntie, you are suffering."

Ye Shi's eyes were also red, "It's a blessing to be able to go south safely. I haven't suffered much, so don't stand and sit down and talk."

Zhong Jin sat in the chair and looked around at the simple furnishings. He felt even more uneasy. Uncle Zhou was a man who knew how to run the business. The Zhou family had a rich family background, and his eyes were red, "Auntie, you go back with me today."

Ye Shi hurriedly waved his hand, "That's not good. I'm already very happy that you can come to see me. Our family can have a place to live and be content. You don't have to worry about it."

Zhong Jin's eyes were red again. The Zhou family only lost Uncle Zhou. Yesterday, he went down to find a chance to chat with Zhou Yu for a while. He already knew that the Zhou family had been copied and that Uncle Zhou was buried in the capital, "I wrote a letter yesterday to send it back to my hometown. Dad will definitely come, if I didn't take good care of you, my dad would have to beat me."

Ye Shi wiped her tears with the veil, "Your father is very affectionate, and that's why I can't go back with you. I have sons and daughters by my side, and you have to think about Yu'er and his wife."
